UHI Community Speakers Bureau
A Platform for Baltimore’s Voice and Expertise
The Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute (UHI) Community Speakers Bureau aims to foster opportunities for dialogue and to uplift the knowledge and expertise of Baltimore community leaders and residents. It serves as a bridge between Johns Hopkins University (JHU) and the Baltimore community by inviting Community Speakers into classrooms and special events at JHU.
